Hear the call
of the ancestors
inside this small,
fire-heated lodge...

They speak of sacrifice,
of purification.Pray to
the Grandfather that He will
hear you, that He will accept
the sacrifice of the red,
hot stones.For these
are the stones of the warriors
who have endured the fires,
have given their lives
for the good of those who sit
in the sweltering, heat
~~~of the sweatlodge.

See the vapors of
the warriors rising up
to the Grandfather.Hear
the chants of the old, the ancient,
reaching His ears, His large heart.
You have not sacrificed as much as He;
for the Grandfather sacrificed
~~~the only Son that He had.

Hear the call of the ancestors,
feel them standing beside you
through your suffering, through
your cleansing; and as the lives
of the red, hot stones
~~~are being added to the fire.

(smiles) This is wonderful, sweet friend, ooohhhhhh...I too felt I was lying in the cabin and it was like a sauna and I was meditating in yoga form and contacting the warrior spirits cries! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ivy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
